Ready to make a splash? Paddleboarding is a low-impact, high-benefit outdoor activity that’s reaps oodles of benefits for fitness, wellbeing, and your social life. Float on down to Blue Lemon Paddleboarding in West Berkshire and South Oxfordshire, a BSUPA (British Stand Up Paddleboarding Association) affiliated school for bespoke group bookings, lessons, and tours.

With over 200 five star reviews under their belt, the crew at Blue Lemon know what they’re doing, and they know it well. Hop aboard for 1-1 or 1-2 individually tailored lessons on the Kennet and Avon in Newbury to the River Thames at Wallingford, or get BSUPA qualified on their brilliant two-hour courses. It’s the perfect way to feel confident on the water and learn all the insider techniques for setting up your equipment correctly, plus learning how to stop, turn, and accelerate without nose diving in a blur of flailing limbs.

There’s a range of activities on offer. Join their Guided Paddleboard Tours from Newbury, Wallingford, Abingdon and Oxford every weekend (May – Oct), plus Sunset Tours will run on alternative Wednesday evenings from Woolhampton and Hungerford (Apr – Sep) for just £39pp. Numbers are kept purposely small (a max of 12) so no scrapping over your patch, equipment is provided, and the tours are a totally unique and peaceful way to see the local area as you float along.

Tailored tours and experiences from other locations including Reading, Marlow and Windsor can be arranged, as well as board hire too. Just get in touch with the friendly team and they will be all too happy to help.
